Blasphemy: 9 Looking into the distance

Under the scorching summer sun, a thousand knights guarded more than a dozen carriages, marching on the road leading to the south of the empire. The carriage in the middle is luxurious and spacious, and can be pulled by four good horses. The carriage is inlaid with the emblem of the Holy Church. This carriage is well-known to almost everyone in the Dro Empire because it is the carriage exclusively used by Pope Rogge of the Holy Church.

Roggan was sitting in the carriage, looking at the speech in his hand. He is about to preach to the soldiers of the Dro Empire and local civilians on the southern front, recruiting new believers. This thing in his hand is a sermon written for him by his clergy.

The road to the south is not easy. Because at this time, in this vast area, the cavalry of both sides were moving back and forth, trying to capture the fighter plane. In front of the thousands of cavalry teams on both sides, the guard strength of these thousands of knights is actually very weak.

Rogg suddenly put down the speech in his hand and knocked on the car window. A moment later, the delicate face of Bauhinia Butterfly appeared in front of the car window and asked: "Master Rogge, what are your orders?"

Roger said: "There is a cavalry rushing towards us at high speed, probably about ten kilometers away from us."

The redbud butterfly took the order and left. A long bugle sounded immediately, and half of the thousand knights dismounted. They raised their huge shields, raised their spears high, and guarded more than ten carriages in the center. The other half of the knights took the folding hand crossbows from their backs and quickly loaded the crossbows.

In the carriage, Rogge had already finished reading the speech. He took out a magic book and read it carefully.

At this time, there was a faint tremor on the ground. It was obvious that the incoming enemy troops were definitely not a small number. In the blink of an eye, a knight's figure appeared on a hill not far away.

With his back to the scorching sun, he stood on the hill with his horse and spear at the side, looking at Rogge's motorcade in the distance. Just such a simple gesture makes people feel boundless majesty!

At this time, the thunderous sound of hooves reached the convoy, and then one knight after another appeared on the hill, forming a neat battle formation behind the leading knight.

This team of knights seems a bit strange. Their armors are not very uniform, and the weapons they use are also uneven. They look like a miscellaneous army. But when thousands of knights climbed to the top of the hill and formed a neat assault formation, murderous intent suddenly rose into the sky, shocking some of the horses on Rogge's team to stand up!

At this moment, the window of the carriage opened, and Rogge's face was exposed behind the window, just in time to meet the gaze of the leading knight on the mountain. The moment the car window opened, the murderous aura rolling in from the distance suddenly disappeared completely.

"Lord Rogge, the enemy looks difficult to deal with. Should we ask the ice and snow mages to get out of the car and prepare for battle?" Bauhinia Butterfly rode up to the car and asked for instructions.

Roger seemed not to hear anything and just looked at the knight.

On the hill, a knight rode up to the leading knight and said to him: "Lord Kate, it seems we have caught a rare big fish! Brothers are ready, let's charge. !"

"Charge? Old Ryan, have you experienced sixty-five battles without dying, so you feel that you have lived a little too long?" Kate snorted, and then continued: "This time, I just want to come Just look at him. This rare big fish...just leave it to Marshal Rocherio. I want to see if he can eat it. Withdraw the troops!"

Watching the knights on the hill rolling away, Rogge retracted his gaze, smiled slightly, and said to Bauhinia Butterfly: "What do you think of that man and his knights?"

"Very...terrible." Redbud Butterfly thought about it for a long time before finding the right word.

"Very good, our Ice Palace Warriors will develop in this direction."

"Yes, Master Rogge!" Redbud Butterfly's answer was short and concise, sounding no different than before. But Rogge knew that she had indeed changed. Since being appointed as the commander of the Ice Palace Warriors, Bauhinia Butterfly has changed from his usual work style of working day and night, to one where he will be fine if he does his job flawlessly. How could a shrewd Rogge not notice the carelessness in this? But he knew where Bauhinia Butterfly's heart was tied, so he let her go.

What makes Rogge somewhat gratified is that after this incident, although there has been a deep estrangement between him and Et, Et has also matured a lot and become calm. Although he also saw Kate in front of the formation at this time, it was as if he had not seen her at all. There was no abnormal behavior, which made Rogge very satisfied.

When Rogge sets foot on the southern land again, his old friends will meet one by one. It’s just that time flies by, and things change in a blink of an eye. When they met on the battlefield this time, both Roger and Kate just wanted to see their old friend whom they had not seen for a long time. But when they meet next time, will they be enemies or friends? Roger didn't know, and presumably Kate didn't either.

"Continue on the road!" After Rogge ordered, he closed the car window. The road is still long, and the road ahead will certainly not be peaceful.

The motorcade traveling among the quiet rolling hills looked extremely eye-catching. The **** force of a thousand knights is not too big or too small, enough to scare off small groups of enemy troops, and just enough to become the delicacy of the large group of guerrilla cavalry.

The motorcade suddenly stopped. On the distant mountains, large groups of knights appeared. Looking from a distance, one can see that on the dozen or so flying black battle flags, there are strange patterns with the upper body of a seductive woman and the lower body of a terrifying spider torso.

In today's Dro Empire, this battle flag is well known to everyone. That is the Knights of the Human-Faced Spider led by Gonzalez.

This time, without waiting for Rogge's instructions, the thousand Ice Palace warriors all dismounted, held their shields and raised their guns, quietly waiting for the enemy's charge. The Ice Palace Warriors are not professional knights, so after being approached to such a distance by such a regular knight group, they will definitely not be able to escape.

On the mountain ridge, Gonzalez took off his helmet, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at the motorcade in the distance. He had a beard and long brown-black hair fluttering in the breeze, looking rough and mighty. And his style of leading troops is also the same. Like a hurricane, he often rushes into the formation to kill fiercely, and immediately flies away after the battle is decided.

"Sir Gonzalez! Judging from the badge, it is the motorcade of Pope Rogge of the Holy Church! It is incredible that he dares to appear in such a place with only a thousand guards! Sir, our number Four times their number, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, charge!" the adjutant behind Gonzalez said anxiously.

Gonzalez raised his hand, stopped the adjutant's words, and said slowly: "Judging from the route they took, they must have met the Lion Tooth Legion. But you can tell from them Any sign of a fight?"

"Indeed not! I once heard that General Kate, the commander of the Lion Tooth Legion, and Pope Rogge of the Holy Church had an old relationship before. Is it possible that Lord Kate intends to let things slip this time? If so, then we can catch the Pope. After Rogge, you can still make another contribution!"

Gonzalez snorted and said: "Do you think that Kate who climbed out of the dead would value his old relationship so much? People like him who have been struggling on the edge of life and death every day will have a natural sensitivity to danger. Intuition. There is only one reason why he let this big fish go, and that is because he can’t swallow it! Do you think it’s possible for us to swallow the fish that Kate can’t swallow?”

The adjutant was still a little unwilling to give up. After all, the fish was too big. Catching Rogge was more than a great achievement. So he still said to himself: "Sir, this may be Rogge's trick. In any case, we should attack their battle formation and try it out."

Gonzalez put on his helmet, waved his hand and said: "No need to say more, withdraw the troops!"

Rogge in the carriage closed his magic book and thought to himself: "It seems that Annie's brother is very discerning!"

But the troubles on the road are not over yet. Early the next morning, the third Ranger Cavalry of the Principality of Bavaria appeared at the end of the avenue.

The leader of this cavalry looked at the convoy in the distance and was a little hesitant. Like the Lion's Tooth Legion, he belongs to the Southern Legion of the Principality of Bavaria. He knew the Lion's Tooth Legion's hunting area, and he was also wondering why Kate would let go of the delicious food that was already in his mouth. But in the end he failed to resist the huge temptation and brazenly led three thousand light cavalry to charge towards Rogge's convoy.

This team of roving cavalry has very clever tactics. They know that opponents armed with heavy shields and spears are very difficult to deal with, so they are ready to run around the convoy to find weaknesses in their opponents. But just when the knight at the front of them had just pulled closer to the convoy, suddenly, an invisible pressure came towards them!

The knights on the horse didn't think anything of it yet, but the horses that were sprinting with all their strength couldn't bear the pressure at first, and they all stood up! The knights were caught off guard, and amid screams, they flew out of their horses and fell heavily to the ground. If they fall off such a high-speed galloping horse, no matter how well they train, they will not be able to escape the fate of broken muscles and fractures. In the blink of an eye, the charging formation of the hunting knights was in chaos, and the cavalry behind them could not control their horses, and trampled over their comrades who fell to the ground in front. There seemed to be an invisible area in front of them. As long as they entered this area, the war horses would get frightened and try desperately to escape from the area.

The Rogge team has been prepared for this. All the Ice Palace warriors have dismounted. Although the horses showed signs of being frightened, they were restrained by their masters and could only move their hooves uneasily.

The large area of ​​invisible coercion seemed to be moving, and it quickly caught up with the hunting cavalry who had noticed something strange and tried to avoid this strange area. These cavalrymen could only try their best to control the frightened horses under their crotches. How could they charge towards Rogge's convoy?

At this moment, the doors of more than ten carriages in the convoy opened wide, and dozens of mages poured out. After a large-scale attack magic was thrown on the heads of these hunting cavalry, they had already put on bucklers and fought. The Ice Palace warriors with axes shouted loudly and charged towards the chaotic hunting cavalry!

The battle was over soon.

The hunting cavalry abandoned more than a thousand corpses and fled in panic. Half of these casualties died under the hooves of their own horses. As for Rogge's side, only a dozen Ice Palace warriors were slightly injured.

Such a brilliant achievement should actually be attributed to the underground dwarf who has always been hidden behind the scenes. Not to mention that Gregory's hiding ability far surpassed that of the Sanctuary Killer. Even if it stood there blatantly, not many knights charging at full speed would notice such an insignificant thing. However, Gregory's dragon power was genuine. After reducing the dragon power to a minimum, the coverage area was greatly expanded. The area within a few hundred meters around the underground dwarf became the coverage area of ​​the dragon power. The faint power of the dragon is not enough to scare the determined knight, but the war horse is different. Their innate instinct causes them to become frightened to the point of madness if they sense even a tiny bit of Gregorian's aura.

The underground dwarf quietly left.

The pleasure of being the mastermind behind the scenes has filled its body, and if it does a good job this time, it might even get a reward from Master Wella after it goes back. Even if the master doesn't reward it, the master's ability as a master is no longer what it used to be, so he must be able to get some benefits out of him.

After briefly cleaning the battlefield, the convoy set off again. This time Rogge's convoy never encountered a new attack. When it arrived at its destination, the magic book in Rogge's hand had just turned to the last page.

The moon is at the zenith. The cold moonlight poured down, coating the southern land with a layer of silver gray.

In front of a waterfall, Androni stood on a boulder in the pool and watched the waterfall crash into the pool below. Next to her, stood a man in his early thirties. His beard was trimmed extremely neatly, and he was elegant and evil.

"Annie, come back to us! Father needs you very much now." The man said.

Androni stared at the waterfall for a long time, and then said: "What you need is just the sword in my hand. Although I don't know where to go now, but... I don't want to go back."

The man sighed and said leisurely: "Annie, even though my father and we attach great importance to power, the blood connection cannot be erased! You will come to me, maybe you are hurt by them, right? Alas. , whatever, you have been very stubborn since you were a child, and it doesn’t matter even if you don’t want to come back. There are some things I shouldn’t have said, but I am your brother and I can’t watch you go to destruction. You can’t win this war at all! If you are unwilling to return to us, then leave here immediately and go as far away as possible! After the war is over, come back to the family."

Androni didn't turn her head, just sighed softly.

The man looked at Lan Yue's position and said: "It's getting late, I should go back to the military camp. Remember my words."

He took a few steps and finally couldn't help but look back, sighed and said: "Annie... Actually we don't lack the sword in your hand."

Androni's body trembled slightly, but she finally held it back and did not look back. She just thought in her heart: "But I...I can't leave!"

The blue moon moves quietly in the night sky, and will fall into the distant mountains in a blink of an eye.

A breeze blew behind Androni. After the wind stopped, there was another figure behind her.

Androni didn't look back and said coldly: "Roger, what are you doing here! Did you put a magic mark on me and that's why you came here?"

Rogge said calmly: "To find you, all I have to do is use your heart. How could a kind-hearted person like me put a magic mark on you?"

Androni spat and said: "Are you kind? What the hell! If you want anything from me, just tell me! It's impossible for me to go back."

"We once made a bet, and I am here to carry out the bet."

Androni then remembered that she had indeed agreed to a duel with Rogge, and if she lost, she would be at Rogge's disposal. She smiled coldly, raised her sword, and said, "Very good! But I've been more aggressive recently, so be careful!"

Roger smiled slightly, and using his strength, he slid backwards as if he were standing on the ice. Driven by his mental power, advanced stone skin, shadow, damage protection and other magics were blessed on him one by one.

Androni was slightly startled. In her memory, Rogge never followed the regular tactics of a magician in battle, but this time he acted too much like a normal magician, which was really wrong.

Androni gave a clear drink, and her fighting spirit instantly increased to the extreme, forming a water-blue fighting spirit armor around her. Then she rushed towards Rogge like lightning and stabbed Rogge's throat with her sword! But at the moment when the sword reached her body, Rogge's figure suddenly shrank, and there were seven Rogges standing in front of her.

Illusion is a magic that is not high-level but very practical. Each time the attacker hits the caster, the damage is transferred to a shadow clone, allowing the caster himself to escape the blow.

Androni smiled coldly, the starry sky trembled slightly, and stabbed Rogge six times in an instant, wiping out all his clones. At this time, the spell prepared by Rogge was just completed. Seeing that the opportunity was not good, she immediately dodged and moved behind Rogge to prevent him from locking her position.

Rogg carefully replenished himself with protective magic, distanced himself, cast weakening magic on Androni, and then used offensive magic to pursue her. This battle can be used as a classic teaching material for the decisive battle tactics between spell casters and warriors. The only difference is that Rogge's curse magic has a very high success rate. In fact, as long as the fat man locked her position, Androni had no precedent of successfully resisting the curse. Moreover, all of Fatty's protective magics were instantaneous, making it almost impossible for her to find an opening to attack.

In this battle, Androni had to be particularly careful, and she secretly became impatient.

The opportunity finally came.

Rogg suddenly took out a huge and simple magic scroll from his arms. Androni really couldn't see how this magic scroll, which was as thick as a bowl and more than half a meter long, was originally put down in the fat man's arms. But Rogge looked at the scroll and was stunned for a moment, as if he had picked up the wrong scroll.

How could Androni be willing to lose this opportunity? She bullied Rogge like lightning, bypassed the scroll with her sword, and stabbed Rogge on the shoulder!

But the fat man suddenly smiled slyly. He actually picked up a huge scroll and knocked it down under her head like thunder and lightning! Androni was taken aback. She barely dodged, but there was a sharp pain on her wrist, and the stars flew out of her hand!

Rogg looked at the surprised Androni and said with a smile: "You lose! Who said this thing must be a magic scroll?"

He slowly unfolded the scroll, and it turned out to be blank. This thing is actually just a thick and short copper rod.

Androni's face was as cold as ice and she stared at Rogge with hatred. Finally, she closed her eyes and said coldly: "I have indeed lost. Just do whatever you want, and move quickly!"

Rogg picked up the blue sky, put it in her hands, and said gently: "Since you have lost, you must listen to me. You should leave the Dro Empire now and go as far as possible."

Androni suddenly opened her eyes, paused, and said: "You...how did you..."

The fat man smiled and said: "You want to say why I suddenly became kind-hearted, right? The world is actually very indifferent, and now it is in chaos, and everyone only cares about themselves. If I don't care about you, Who will care about you at this time? Leave, Anne, you don’t belong here, and this war has nothing to do with you.”

Androni sighed softly, slowly lowered her head, and said: "I...I have a reason why I can't leave. This war does not belong to me, but...this is her war."

Roger tried to persuade her a few more times, but she just shook her head. The fat man could only say: "Then go back to Ludan Port."

"No!" She firmly refused again.

Roger was silent for a moment and then said: "If you want to stay, you must agree to one condition. That is, from now on, you cannot leave me a hundred meters away."

Androni suddenly remembered what Mora had said to her ~IndoMTL.com~ and said: "Is it related to Eiffel's prophecy? Okay, I promise you!"

Rogg looked at her, shook his head, and said: "Don't pay too much attention to her prediction. No matter how accurate the prediction is, it may not be the final outcome of fate. It's almost dawn, let's go! We should set off today I’m going back to Ocinia. After I go back, I have to give our old friends a surprise!”

The Kingdom of God is filled with soft light at this moment, and soft sacred light bands are also floating in the air hall.

In the holy light, Feng Yue slowly opened her eyes. She stretched her body slightly, and with a brushing sound, two wings suddenly spread out behind her. Among the white feathers were light feathers condensed from pale golden light.

Feng Yue's delicate hands caressed her new wings, feeling the turbulent power contained in them, and she couldn't help but feel slightly surprised.

"I have to admit that Lord God's Messenger has managed the Holy Church really well, and there are more and more believers. Alas, it's good to have believers!" Hughes sighed while sipping the newly brewed tea.

"Oh, right." Eiffel replied casually. She was busy practicing an important prophecy with the magic crystal, and completely ignored Hughes's incomprehensible emotions.
